John Devine has been writing about high school sports in Monterey County since, well, practically since he was an athlete at King City in the days just after leather helmets. In PrepNation, John has even more in-depth analysis of the latest results and news he's brought to you in The Herald and in his weekly videos.

Elijah Kirkland

As dynamic and explosive as Kirkland can be as a tailback, his prowess on defense can't be ignored at Salinas.
Last fall Kirkland intercepted six passes, returning one 95 yards for a touchdown to seal a win at San Benito. The Cowboys need that explosiveness this year in the backfield on offense.
Kirkland also returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown last fall.
